(-4)(-2)= 8
8(-5)= -40
Answer: -40
Let's use the slope formula!
m = y2 - y1 / (x2 - x1)
m = 6 + 7 / (-3 + 7) = 13/4
That would be Nets 1, 4 and 5.
Amount of money collected in the 2-day fundraiser is represented by the following equations:
- 12x + 4y = 152 .................. (i)
- 32x + 12y = 420 .................. (ii)
where x is the cost of a chicken lunch and y is the cost of a vegetarian lunch
Multiplying (i) with 3 and subtracting it from (ii)
36x + 12y - (32x + 12y) = 456 - 420
⇒ 4x = 36
⇒ x = 9
Put value of x in (i)
⇒ 12 × 9 + 4y = 152
⇒ 108 + 4y = 152
⇒ 4y = 44
⇒ y = 11
Hence, cost of the vegetarian meal is 11.
